Even if someone IS scantily clad, playing TS-bait types or whatever, harassing them OOCly is incredibly shitty. IT goes along with the shaming someone for having a sex drive (usually women), or feeling entitled to have access to someone's body or time.

RE: RL peeves! >< @$!#
@The-Tree-of-Woe Yeah. I was kind of 'wtf' at it, too.
And my magic, ritual and religions professor was great. I swear he did half the hallucinogens he lectured about. It was a glorious foray into the human experience. Oh, and a lot of other animals get high and drunk. Anthropology is pretty hefty on the scientific rigor depending on one's discipline. I really loved getting to do forensic anthro with Dr. Melbye, for one example.
I think a lot schools require basic reading, communication and writing courses because good lord, a lot of STEM people are fucking awful at expressing anything in writing and some just can't communicate in general which is really, really bad in a job environment (gods only know I have a metric assload of communication issues). There are reasons technical and scientific writers will be in demand and that includes having to explain to the very people that fund you what you are doing and why it's important beyond 'it's SCIENCE, plebes'.
But I kind of like a balanced favor, and I think @BetterJudgment has a lot of good points, too.

@ThatOneDude Hahahaha. I love it, but I'm a sucker for silly memes.
It just felt so awkward. Lady, I'm so mentally ill, they're OFFERING to help me with disability. That's not light grade stuff and I certainly don't think 'just praying' is gonna help someone when suicidal. If someone is suicidal and acting on it, they need to be in a hospital or supervised environment where they can be kept safe.

Honestly, unless you have it budgeted, most people are fine with phones that aren't bleeding edge.

RE: RL peeves! >< @$!#
I really need a particular screwdriver to clean this thing out because gaming laptops love to overheat and fry themselves. Woop woop.

RE: RL peeves! >< @$!#
My laptops have been Asus and MSI. They're both pretty good, but damned if they don't get heat issues.

@ThatOneDude That was both wonderful and horrible.

Be careful. Too tight skinny jeans can cause circulation and nerve damage.
I love modcloth's one piece bathing suits, but man, those puppies are expensive. I need to not have a slight pot belly. /shakefist (I need to do so many sit ups and stuff. So many.) I'd probably wear a fatkini because I'm shy, though.
Also, I love being more stable and cheerful on meds but this sleepiness and noodly arms is pissing me off.

@Luna I have a long torso. I had a cute tuxedo style one with a bow, but when I raised my arms... Hello, girls!
It didn't work out and it made me sad.

RE: Good Things
I've been accepted into DARS, and will continue to get therapy while I get help looking for a job where I won't burn down the building or become a depressed shell of my former self. Whoop.

RE: RL peeves! >< @$!#
@Luna She's still got a pretty bad wound, but with help, I think we can get her treated at the vet tomorrow.
And yikes at the neighbors.

RE: [Ethnicity Thread] Who Do You Think You Are?
My family's so white we have a box of saltines in the family tree. Aside from the whacky third branch with us dark haired types. So we're pretty much English, German and some random Aussies with one branch having some Native American blood due to an extramarital affair.
Shenanigans.

RE: Crafts & Things
A modified version of the dead fish hat. The dead fish hat and its short rows seemed a bit rough for a first hat, so I am going to try this one first: http://www.deadfishhat.com/fishy-patterns/half-fish-beanie

RE: Crafts & Things
Yeah, I love both versions. I'm doing the half hat to get used to wrangling the angry porcupine (double pointed needles). I'm using Cascade Sunseeker yarn for it (Deep blue with darkish/anglerfish green sparkles). The patterns are free, unless you want to donate to charity.

RE: RL things I love
@Luna Everyone has their reasons and that's cool. I wish I had the boobs for most cosplay.
I think it'd be fun, but I gotta learn to sew. Oh well.
-
RE: RL things I love
@Luna Honestly, the idea of losing sensation in the boobs and having to replace implants kind of makes me go Even if awesome cleavage sounds awesome.
I may have to hijack the abandoned sewing machine yet.
-
RE: RL things I love
I suppose that is one perk of being small chested. I only have to wear a bra when I want to. But it means no awesome, sexy huge boobs and a lot of cosplay is cut off.

RE: RL Anger
That's an awful lot of companies in general. Indentured servitude and poverty keep employees from leaving because they will probably starve to death if they quit or leave. Woo.

RE: Crafts & Things
Well, definitely don't stab yourself or anything.
Pottery sounds pretty cool to make. Sadly, my only experience with pottery was in high school. We got to make some and then the kiln malfunctioned, melting everything into a solid mass of goo. The only cool part was some dude's bust melting and looking like a screaming face being pulled into the abyss.
